I am forever thankful for a family heritage of faith in Jesus Christ.
It is no small thing to have been given such a solid foundation by my parents, who deliberately sought to instruct my siblings and I in the ways of the LORD.
Last night, as I was putting ornaments on our Christmas tree, I was reminded of the many traditions we had growing up. The majority of them revolved around making Christ the focus of our festivities. At the time I didn't have a clue how far that focus would truly impact me....but the reality is, it has profoundly helped shape my life today. It was the consistent, intentional example set by my parents year after year (even to this day), in good times and in tough times, that spoke (and continues to speak) volumes to me about the sovereignty and the faithfulness of God. What a gift!
Yesterday, my little nephew Brennan accepted Jesus as his personal Savior. He is the final one in the third generation of our familys' legacy to come to Christ. Such a testimony to God's faithfulness and blessing. Praise You Jesus!!!
